Course info

The breadth of expertise and experience in the History Department (currently forty or so full-time members of staff), along with a thriving culture of research, seminars and conferences, make Warwick one of the very best universities in the UK to undertake research in history. Students taking the MA by Research are expected to complete their degrees in one year of full-time study, or two years part-time. As a research student your closest contact will be with your supervisor, or supervisors, who will meet with you regularly to discuss your work, and agree a programme of reading, research and writing with you. Additional support and training, including English language support, are provided by the Department, Arts Faculty and the Doctoral College, as well as by History’s many reading groups, seminars, workshops and conferences. History researchers will benefit from the University Library’s Research Exchange, a dedicated postgraduate conference and study area, with state-of-the-art facilities. Please contact the department to discuss whether the MA by Research, rather than the Taught MA, is the right course for you.

The environment and atmosphere of the campus is very enjoyable and pleasant. There are many learning areas to do work and chill with friends. In my opinion, although the library is well equipped, it lacks aesthetic appeal. There could be more affordable shops to get quick snacks from.

In general, Warwick provides a real sense of community due to the campus feel and the continual events they hold. The facilities (at least the ones i utilise for my course) are incredibly modern and make learning a more enjoyable experience. The only negative i would have to say is the commute for second and thrid years, but Leamington Spa the town most students live in in those years is picturesque and makes the journey worth it

Everyone is so respectful and there are always plenty of resources to access when requested especially when requesting books from the library. One thing that could be improved is the number of study space, we are allowed to study almost anywhere that isn't occupied but it's still difficult especially around exam season to find places to sit and study. Generally, you have to come in early to get a spot.

The facilities are excellent, my personal favourites are the library and faculty of arts buildings, both of these spaces are great for studying and the fab building has a very modern interior. The sports clubs and sports centre on campus have been vital in my enjoyment of the university, with the rowing club being the best thing to happen to me since joining Warwick. The only downside about the university personally is the location, as living in Leamington spa in second year, it requires a 30 minute bus or 20 minute car ride into campus, which when the traffic is bad in the mornings is not ideal.

Warwick Campus is so beautiful and the Uni has such brilliant facilities for students to use from the professional theatres in the Arts Centre to the State of the Art Sports Facilities. There are also so many wonder and affordable SU outlets to get food and drink on campus. My course is fascinating and my department are wonderfully supportive. I've seriously struggled with my mental health at university and the support from my department and the University wellbeing services has been incredible, I couldn't have afforded therapy myself so free psychotherapy provided by the university has been instrumental for me. My course is also completely fascinating but the university balances student workload and life really well so I get to enjoy both aspects.
